London on an April Sunday Pt. 3

Could not decide which photos to post as it is so close to 'the wedding' but here is a little of Westminster Abbey and 

St. James Park

and

for those who have asked if I will be going into London on Friday, the answer is NO.

Already today (Wednesday) people have begun to camp along the route and the ones we saw on TV were from Canada

The best view in my opinion is from the TV screen

Westminster Abbey in the centre of the picture

The Back of the Abbey

beginning to put the scaffolding up for the media

This wedding is said to be having the greatest media following ever worldwide

We have left the Abbey now and are passing the

Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, part of the Supreme Court

and walking along Whitehall, we are about to turn down King Charles Street, past the Foreign and Commonwealth office on our way to St. James Park where we will eat a picnic that we have just bought.

Downing Street is the next road along but that is for another day

Looking back

and into the park

The toilets across the lake

They are free

Most toilets in London cost 50 pence to use

nearing the Palace

One can see the eye from many places in London

The park is certainly busy on a warm April Sunday

(double clicking you will see just how many people are out there)

If you are wondering why I am  not 'visiting' as much as usual

I have a brand new computer

a top of the range 17 inch laptop

and a 23 inch HD monitor and wireless keyboard so that I can use it also as a desktop

Because it is so up to date, everything is new and different so as I am learning, especially Windows 7, it all takes longer at the moment. Even the soft touch keyboard is proving an issue with my long nails!

Not to mention  getting everything off my old machine 

Even the new E-mail account is daunting

I am sure that in a few months I will be wondering what all the fuss was about (I hope so anyhow)
